gitanita 's review for:

Only Time Will Tell by Jeffrey Archer

4.0

---

Only Time Will Tell is the first of seven books in the Clifton Chronicles family saga. It tells the story of a young boy Harry Clifton, a son a docker and a waitress who gets a chance to get a higher education (largely inaccessible to people from poor backgrounds in England class system) and better his position in the world. The first book includes his formative years up until his 20th birthday and the beginning of WWI, but also POV's from the adults in his life who give us the stories that Harry doesn't know but that had shaped and will continue shaping his life.

I really like Jeffrey Archer's writing style. It's easy and engaging and you are not bored with the narrative. This is a re-read for me, but I haven't yet read the rest of the series. Definitely plan to at some point, because I would like to know what happens to Harry in the future.
